Developer Edward J. On November 17, , said store became a full-fledged Macy's. A 2-level , square foot J. Penney opened its doors. This was followed by a more ambitious enlargement 3 years later. A 32 million dollar expansion added a 2-level , square foot Sears, thirty-nine inline stores and the bay The Park Food Court.

The interior of the existing mall was also given a face lift. A grand opening celebration commenced on March 6, The 14 million dollar store opened on March 11, At the time, neither mall realized that the decline of malls, local retail and department stores would contract the market enough that it could only support one mall.

Augusta Chronicle ad for Davison's at Augusta Mall. Sent by C. Lewis also sent this photo of Davison's in shortly after opening. Notice that they were still using the older logo with the big yellow "D" and blue "Davison's" that year. Joe Austin took this photo in as Davison's was in the process of being transitioned to Macy's. By this time they dropped the elegant "D" from the logo leaving this far more stripped down blue sign. Another photo showing detail of the Davison's logo taken by Joe Austin.

Joe Austin also captured this image of the original downtown Augusta Davison's store, which was still intact in It had closed in when the Augusta Mall location replaced it. It had been in this location since the 's when Davison-Paxon part of RH Macy at that point as well purchased local department store Saxon-Cullum. The building has since been sadly demolished. The last remaining vestige of Davison's at Augusta Mall is this small portion of the store that extended into mall space.

It operates disconnected but part of the current Macy's that continues to operate in the former Rich's. Lewis sent these photos of Rich's as well shortly after the store opened in Other than the Rich's logo, the store is pretty unremarkable. It was new to the market when it opened with the mall.

My friend Lou Corsaro took these pics for me in of the Rich's store and auto center at Augusta Mall shortly before the changeover to Macy's. The mall entrance had been modified from its original appearance, which included the signature wavy glass used on their 's mall entrances. More current pics of the Macy's former Rich's both inside and out taken December 26, Neil Barker took these photos of the JCPenney mall entrance and lush vegetation placed in front.

This wing and store was added in Photos taken May 29, My own photo of the upper level mall entrance to JCPenney. Photo taken December 26, Neil Barker took this exterior photo of the JCPenney, which on the outside looks extremely dated for On the outside it could easily pass for Photo taken May 29, My own photo taken the prior year shows the exterior of the JCPenney the day after Christmas, Neil Barker also took this shot of both levels of the Sears mall entrance with some of the fountain visible.

On my visit a Christmas display blocked much of this view. The Sears store moved here from a larger store closer to downtown in completing Augusta Mall and dealing a terminal prognosis for its once much larger competitor. The addition of Sears completed the mall traditionally, but it was not the final anchor to open at the mall. Photos taken December 26, Lewis took these rare photos of J. White after it opened at Augusta Mall. Despite building a stunning store, the logo update from the classic script was unfortunate.
